Too Human Review
Part of me just wants it to sell well and be well received after all the forum stuff happened. It was all well-intentioned and that game was unfairly judged since the beginning (the recent beginning, not the ten years ago beginning). The previews of the game were reviews, I mean, just crazy.
Not that it means much but at least we get a real review.
That demo wasn't too bad either. It's not my kind of game, but I do love Silicon Knights!
"I really hated the demo. I was expected good action I got some weird clumsy action. Everything felt so uncordinated and the gameplay isn't deep at all. The levels looked boring and it seems to be like a button masher. I don't think its anything special."I'm with you, so I'm going to see what Game Trailers and Giantbomb give it.
"ChainGangSoldier said:me to."I loved the demoYeah, me too. I think I will buy it when it comes out."

I think its going to get an assassins creed reception. Some will love it and some will hate it.
The camera and the face value of the combat being a button masher, will combine to turn many people away who arent willing to give it a chance.

"Homer said:Agreed. I ain't touching that game, even if it can make coffee. The camera sucked and the "open doors in cyberspace" was stupid and repetitive. Sorry, Dyack, better luck next time."Really exited for this game. Loved the demo."I actually hated the demo. I'm definitely going to pass on this game."

Impressive graphics my foot. The game looks ugly. Especially faces. Just ugh. A few AI issues? How about non-existant AI for your allies? Is that a few issues? I think it's a major one if you ask me. It might have a well written story (deep characters too) but if you have control problems and allies are basically the background, what's the point? I don't know who these reviewers are, but the low budget guys always seem to be the ones to push their reviews out first.
I really did too...but the demo gives you enough of what you're getting into honestly that if your opinion is negative about it, the full game isn't gonna do it any justice besides following the full story. I was very psyched for this game months before its release and before the demo hit, but I just have not a single interest in it now.

Cool. I felt bad for them cause the demo was so low tech and stuff but if this is any indication of the reviews to come, then good for them.

To be fair, this particular magazine is aimed towards younger ages and generally isn't considered the "go-to" source for reliable game reviews. Also, weird, 'cause I don't think the game's out over here yet.
Of course, there's always the chance the game's actually good :P
"Jordan23 said:I'm pretty sure that the Greeks have some seasoned game journalists just like the Americans do. All game reviewers have one job in common, review the videogames to the best of their ability."even though it's in Greek (but it still counts).pfft, no it doesnt.

"
after playing the demo I'm still on the fence on buying this game I'll wait for more reviews I hope they are good
You people are CRAZYt
PREDICTING REVIEW SCORES!?!?!?!
thats exactly what denis dyack was ranting about...
I'm looking forward to this game but am still on the fence about it. I'm going to wait and see what the reviews say

"I was turned off from the game because the developers turned into such cry babies about the UE3. Geez, its not like any other developers had so much trouble with the engine except for them."I know. Square-Enix ran into the same problem with the engine when working on The Last Remnant, and you know what they did? They worked around it, not complain like a little girl over it *cough*Dyak*cough*.
Even with that, I wanted to see if the game was worth the hype that Dyak had made for it, and I was disappointed.
"Even if it has outstanding review scores, because of what Dyack is, and what he did to protect his game, it'll never be truly accepted as a great game among gamers."That's what I think a little. I wonder why.
"Even if it has outstanding review scores, because of what Dyack is, and what he did to protect his game, it'll never be truly accepted as a great game among gamers."That just sounds kind of dumb. Why wouldn't we call a game that we could quite possibly like "a great game"? So what that Dennis did a whole bunch of dumb stuff? That shouldn't matter to us at all. A great game is a great game and deserves respect for the amount of time that they spent on it.
